Real Conversations with Real People
Leader: Lynnette Brouwer
When: Sat., November 22, 10:00am-12:00pm
Where: Social Hall
Sign-ups: At Questers Table or email Carol Calkins (carolpcalkins@gmail.com– Subject: Real conversations with real people)
2nd offering of Real Conversations with Real People! This time during daylight hours by request. Add yourself to the 11 people who’ve already completed this session.
David Brooks’ book “How to Know a Person,” is excellent in helping us figure out how to have real conversations with people. To engage successfully across boundaries, one needs social confidence and social skills. Brooks names these skills and meshes with Timothy Snyder’s advice in On Tyranny to put your body in unfamiliar places with unfamiliar people. Snyder further explores his concepts in On Freedom. Let’s work on it together.
